Custom Pharmaceutical Grade Aluminum Foil Rolls

Material Application: Pharmaceutical Packaging Industry

Product: 8011, 8021, and 8079 alloys

Project Details:

In the pharmaceutical packaging industry, material requirements are extremely stringent. Pharmaceutical-grade aluminum foil rolls have emerged as a critical packaging material due to their superior barrier properties, moisture resistance, and chemical stability. As the preferred choice for blister packaging (capsules, tablets) and pouch packaging (powders, liquids), their market demand continues to grow. This article explores pharmaceutical-grade aluminum foil rolls, delving into their technical advantages, applications, and customization services.

Technical Advantages: Meeting Rigorous Pharmaceutical Standards

Pharmaceutical-grade aluminum foil rolls hold a vital position in medicine packaging due to their exceptional material properties. Among the various aluminum alloys suitable for pharmaceutical packaging, 8011, 8021, and 8079 alloys stand out:

8011 Aluminum Foil: Excels in moisture resistance, light shielding, and air barrier performance.

8021 Aluminum Foil: Typically exceeds 0.05mm in thickness, offering excellent deep-drawing properties, non-toxicity, and Grade A water brushability. It features high cup convexity, a clean surface, uniform color, no stains or oil residue, and a smooth, pinhole-free finish. Rigorously tested for bacteria, mold, and heavy metals (≤ 0.25 ppm), it ensures safety and reliability.

8079 Aluminum Foil: Provides unique performance benefits tailored to specific pharmaceutical packaging needs.

These alloys can be adjusted in thickness to balance packaging strength and cost-effectiveness, catering to diverse medicine packaging requirements.

Applications

Pharmaceutical-grade aluminum foil rolls are widely used across nearly all types of drug packaging:

Blister Packaging: Commonly applied for tablets, capsules, and pills. When heat-sealed with PVC or PVDC, they form individual protective units, ensuring product integrity while enhancing portability.

Pouch Packaging: Ideal for powders, granules, and liquid medicines, offering superior sealing performance to prevent leakage and moisture ingress, thus safeguarding product quality.

Customization Services

Given varying pharmaceutical regulations across regions, customized aluminum foil solutions are essential. Manufacturers tailor key parameters—such as heat-seal strength, print colors, and dimensions (inner diameter, length)—to comply with local standards. Additionally, to meet demands for packaging design, production efficiency, and cost control, suppliers must maintain:

Strict quality control systems

Internationally recognized certifications

Flexible production capabilities
